271: Kirsty Muir, Team GB Freestyle Skier

Today is a special interview with Kirsty Muir – the World Cup winning British slopestyle and Big Air freestyle skier.

Host Iain Martin spoke with Kirsty about her comeback from ACL and shoulder surgery to her first World Cup win last winter. We also discuss her journey from a dry ski slope in Aberdeen to becoming Britain’s youngest competitor at the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022 and look forward to the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics.

This episode is the latest in a series of interviews with high-achieving women in the world of snowsports.

Previous episodes in this series have included interviews with Vicky Gosling, CEO of GB Snowsport, BBC Ski Sunday’s Chemmy Alcott, Kit DesLauriers – first person to ski the Seven Summits - as well as fellow Team GB freestyle skier Zoe Atkin.
